[Building Sakai] Search and Security

[Adrian Fish]

I'm currently trying to permit access to some tool content so that 
search can index it. My normal security checks block access to the 
indexing thread due to the fact that it does not run in a user session 
(no current user). I considered checking the name of the current thread 
and if it was IndexManager, say, I could then allow read access to the 
content. The problem here is that the timer used by 
ConcurrentIndexManager is unnamed, so that won't work.

How have others approached this?

Many thanks,

Adrian.
